This 12-track compilation from the legendary singer's Improv Records catalog spotlights him in the type of songs he loves—and performs—best. Bennett is in fine fettle on "Blue Moon," "As Time Goes By," "Some Other Time," "This Can't Be Love," "While We're Young," "Days of Wine and Roses," "The Lady Is a Tramp," a Cole Porter medley, and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."

"For my money, Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business. He excites me when I watch him. He moves me. He's the singer who gets across what the composer has in mind, and probably a little more."—Frank Sinatra, 1965 Life interview
